Profile:
After waiting until he was 28 for the opportunity to play international
cricket, Jeremy Snape could hardly have wished for a more felicitous start
to his England career. Selected for the short one-day tour of Zimbabwe in
October 2001, Snape played in the first one-day international at Harare. He
bowled ten tidy overs of off-spin, taking the wickets of the two Flower
brothers, and held two catches in the outfield. Although his batting was not
required he had already done enough to receive the remarkable accolade of
man-of-the-match on his England debut. He then made a telling batting
contribution in the third game, adding 51 runs with Nasser Hussain to
complete an England victory that secured the series, which he ended as
England's second-highest wicket-taker.
After captaining England U18s in Canada in 1991, and touring with England
U19s in Pakistan the following winter, Snape began his county career with
Northamptonshire, where he played from 1992-8. Although Northants won the
NatWest Trophy at the end of his first season, he wasn't in the team and
after six years in which the club failed to win a major tournament, Snape
decided it was time for a move. It took him from famine to riches; he joined
Gloucestershire for the 1999 season and became a key element in the team's
comprehensive one-day success.
Snape's all-round abilities suit him to the one-day game. Added to his
off-spin is a safe pair of hands and the ability to make useful
contributions with the bat in the middle to lower order, often in tight
finishes. His arrival at Bristol's County Ground gave added flexibility to
an already ambitious team.
Snape played in each of Gloucestershire's winning sides in four Lord's
finals in 1999 and 2000, and was a key member of the team that won the
unique one-day treble, adding the Norwich Union Trophy to the cabinet in
2000. The lack of international recognition for Gloucestershire's local
heroes raised a few west-country eyebrows at this time, and Snape's
selection for the Zimbabwe tour was seen in some eyes as a belated one. It
was nevertheless an opportunity to impress a selection committee in the
process of re-building England's one-day team for the 2003 World Cup.
Snape's success in Zimbabwe was followed by appearances in the first four
ODIs in the six-match series in India. He again made some useful
contributions, among them an innings of 38 at Chennai which restored some
respectability to England's total after a batting collapse. However he was
replaced by Ashley Giles for the last two matches, and did not feature in
the five-match series in New Zealand.
Snape parted company with Gloucestershire at the end of the 2002 season
after an unhappy period in which he neither saw eye-to-eye with the club's
management nor commanded a regular place in the county XI. Despite these
setbacks he remained in the England one-day frame, performing creditably
against Sri Lanka in his one appearance of the summer, and against Zimbabwe
in the ICC Champions Trophy. He then signed a three-year contract with
Leicestershire. (Copyright CricInfo November 2002)
